1:40 the main reasons are an interesting combination. Most of the narco trade from South America came to Spain through Galicia, it has an extensive and difficult coast. There are many sailors in the area and they would operate the dinghys that rendezvous with ships carrying the drugs towards Europe. The inland area is also rugged, foresty and with small villages, making for very easy hiding spots. A number of distribution networks exist because of the already existing drug smuggling. As to why it started. Two main reasons. It is one of the closer areas to the Caribbean and many Galicians emigrated across to South America setting the relations and knowledge that would latter on help with the smuggling.
@VictorGarciaR5 ай бұрын
Great video overall, just a small point: In the map first shown at 1:15, the end of the route is not aimed at Galicia (located just on top of Portugal). It is instead pointed to the border between Spain and France. The distance itself is not a big deal (370 miles - 600km) but the important thing is the reason why they choose Galicia. Unlike the Canary Islands it is in the european mainland, and the coast is isolated, rocky but with plenty of small beaches between clifs, low population, etc. It is ideal for clandestine operations. Last year cocaine bails were found of the coast of northen Galicia and Asturias, someone ditched them and the currents spread them on the beaches of the area. (local currents flow towards france) Source: (1) I am a local and (2) It is not the first time ilegal goods are smugled there. You just need to find a local fisherman with dubious morals, they know the coastline and are financially struggling

I've seen a short documentary about the RIB interceptions in Portugal. Every other day the police/navy goes out to chase them. The theory is that there are several offloading points south of Portugal where the RIBs start their runs to Portugal and Spain. They know they are being watched by the C-295s and P-3 aircraft. Speed is their main advantage. In Portugal the police is allowed to use apprehended hardware, so there is an arms race going on between good and bad guys. In the graveyard where they impound the wrecked RIBs you see a lot of horsepower. They run the outboards aground if need be, the boats seem almost disposable.

My boat, which is probably half the displacement and hull volume of these trans-oceanic narco subs, cruises at five knots on half a liter of diesel per nautical mile. If we double that, and then consider that there's around 3500 nm between Brazil and Spain, you'd need roughly three tons of diesel to make the trip unrefueled. A bit more with reserves. That's a lot, but would probably work for these boats.

There is a distinction between "street" cocaine and what these narco-subs are transporting, that is, cocaine paste which is the not directly consumable and once delivered is "cut" with pharmacological sedatives (I know that codeine, a dental local anesthetic, was used until the 90s) and then impurities added, like sawdust in soviet bread, both of which have considerable lower value and not economically sensible to be transported along with the base-paste. What these ships transport has to be further processed near their destination which means that once the cargo arrives the load is multiplied a minimum of three times (one ton becomes 3 ton, 1/3 paste, 1/3 sedative and 1/3 of impurities) but if I remember correctly it can go up to 6 times. My dad had his career in the Drug Repression Department of the Federal Police in Brazil and I read a couple of his files from the late 80s.

The RIBs are generally expendable. The point is that you may catch a few of the courriers with the drugs, but enough will get through.

Such would both increase the likelihood of a successful shipment and increase the safety of the nominally legitimate ships that they are likely (literally) attached to...? I just cant see the same kind of low-profile boats that are designed for relatively short trips up the Pacific coast being used for crossing the Atlantic, especially from Brazil to Europe, rather than just completing the last bit of a smuggling trip, which does make sense. Thoughts? (Also- How desperate are the crews? There has to be a limit. And, The fact that all of the detected subs have been found near land may or may not be evidence that they are not transiting the entire Atlantic on their own- sample size, eh?)
